Review of Ancient Aliens S18E05: "Recovering the Ark of the Covenant"

2/11/2022

26 Comments

 
Picture
Picture
Ancient Aliens is going in search of the Ark of the Covenant. … Again. If the topic sounds familiar, it should. Back in 2013, Ancient Aliens did this same episode under the title “Aliens and the Lost Ark.” This time, they justify the repeat by skewing the focus a tiny bit, shifting a bit more to the hunt for the Ark rather than its alleged electrical alien superpowers. But that material has already been covered in the last two segments of the previous version, so I’m not sure that there is enough of a difference to warrant a whole other episode repeating the same material. 

Since the episode both repeats the same claims and also recycles footage from the earlier episode, I will not be discussing each claim in detail, since I have already covered the same material. Below are the highlights of this bizarre instant-rerun.
​Segment 1
The first segment opens with a well-known hoax video of a pretended UFO allegedly filmed over Jerusalem in 2011. The video is a fake, and Ancient Aliens pretends to find mystery in fiction out of laziness. The show alleges that the non-existent UFO was trying to connect with the Ark. This leads to a potted history of the Ark similar to that in the older episode. This leads to a discussion of the claim that the Ark was a technological device powered by electricity. The claim, popularized by Erich von Däniken In Chariots of the Gods, originated in eighteenth century speculative theology. The show repeats its false claim that the Ark was nuclear powered and gave people near it radiation poisoning.
 
Afterward, the show delves into questions about where the Ark went after its disappearance. The discussion is basically identical to the final two segments of the earlier Ark episode.
 
Segment 2
As is traditional in History channel shows, a Knights Templar conspiracy must be discussed. Here, it is the claim, often seen in Scott Wolter’s shows but also discussed on Ancient Aliens previously, that the Templars recovered the Ark of the Covenant from beneath the Temple Mount and transported it to France, where we hear that all the nobles in Europe knew about their success and somehow no one spoke a word of it. The show claims that Chartres Cathedral held the Ark and announced it with an inscription stating the Ark was hidden there. The inscription in question is actually a caption for a biblical scene of the Ark being hidden in the Temple of Dagon from 1 Samuel 6. The show then dips into Christian sacrilege and alleges that the propaganda against the Templars claiming that they communicated with the demon Baphomet was actually eyewitness testimony of the Ark of the Covenant. To make that claim work, the show falsifies Catholic anti-Templar tracts that describe a severed head with glowing eyes to make the head into the two cherubim atop the Ark. The claim is so divorced from actual medieval texts that it is pointless even to discuss a total, fictional fantasy.
 
Segment 3
The next segment pursues the typical lies about the Templars. They repeat the false claim that the Templars took off in a fleet of 18 ships the night before the king of France suppressed the order, and they attribute the claim to Vatican records, which they say describe the ships traveling to Scotland. They do not. The actual record, which I translated from the Vatican Secret Archive, is very different than the false claim. The show returns to the electric/radioactive Ark claim and alleges that the Templars gave the Ark to the Sinclair family to deposit in Rosslyn Chapel. This claim, which does not exist prior to modern times, is a euhemerized version of actual medieval legends, which associated the chapel with supernatural power such as ghost lights, and nineteenth century associations between the chapel and Freemasonry, which is falsely claimed to descend from the Knights Templar.
 
Segment 4
The fourth segment recounts the extremely familiar claim that the Ark rests in Axum in Ethiopia. I’ve written about this claim so many times, it isn’t worth repeating. Hugh Newman claims that the guardians of the Ark die of radiation poisoning, though this is not true. The guardians of the Ark have been old men and managed not to die with nearly the frequency you would expect from radiation poisoning, which does not take decades to do its work.
 
Segment 5
The fifth segment rehearses the familiar story of Tudor Parfitt, who claimed that the Lemba tribe in Africa were the descendants of the Jews who spirited the Ark of the Covenant out of Israel, and their sacred drum is a substitute for the original Ark they once possessed. In 2007, Parfill identified the remains of a carved wooden drum in Zimbabwe called the Ngoma Lungundu as a replica of the original ark, made from a piece of its original wood. He doesn’t explain where the gold went. Although the show refuses to acknowledge it, African scholars, particularly those in Zimbabwe, have blasted Parfitt’s claims, alleging that he is attempting a colonialist project to impose a white story on a product of African culture that has nothing to do with white people. Parfitt argues that the Lemba carry Semitic genes not found in other sub-Saharan African groups, which I suppose is plausible, given that Ethiopia had its own Jewish tribe descended from Jews who migrated south long ago. That doesn’t mean that they had the Ark, even if they maintained the tradition of the Ark, as the Ethiopian Jews and later Christians did. Unfortunately, follow-up studies found no support for the claim that the Lemba descended from ancient Israelites, so the show simply omits this.
 
Segment 6
The final segment discusses the Temple Mount’s myths under the three major Abrahamic faiths. The talking heads recap the episode and Giorgio Tsoukalos says that the Ark is the most important ancient alien artifact because it was a “physical” object. So what was everything else in their “theory” made from? Fantasy and fairy dust?

Overlooking the Line of Thought.
2/12/2022 02:19:13 am

The Line of Thought demonstrates that Nova Scotia and Oak Island is linked with Jerusalem and that Francis Bacon is secretly buried in Oak Island. What links together all these fascinating elements and facts together is called the gluepot. Never forget that history is always won by the victors and is only an opinion of the real facts. Anything can be really true. Look out for the latest book by Gretchen Cornwall. All will be explained. More facts will be revealed. Exciting Facts.

History is written by the victors. Get an education before you continue spouting b.s.

The Ark of the Covenant
2/12/2022 03:56:24 am

Nothing special about the Ark of the Covenant. Fantastic suppositions have been made about it even by mainstream archaeologists and historians. There is nothing special about it. The "authentic reason" for its existence is every bit as irrational as the claims that have been made about the Ark of the Covenant. Look at it this way - the Roman Senate was far too rational to take the object seriously. The Roman Empire simply swept Judea off the map until it became its own state and country again in 1945.

The jewish bible is not a source to be used as a reference work. While it does portray some history, never 100% accurately, mythology is more pervasive. God is mythology. The ark is mythology. All of the new testament is mythology. There is not one shred of historical evidence for the reality of jesus or the disciples or events. No one followed jesus or his "disciples" and wrote down what they are alleged to have said and done and thought. Religions = mythology.

Could this all just be a setup for the next installment of Indiana Jones? I heard rumors a while back it was going to be an alien invasion movie and the ark of the covenant is going to be retrieved to save humanity. It's still hiding in a box in the warehouse from the first movie. And I didn't think it could get any dumber than the last installment with Transformer Boy.

Sad to see you buying into the "... Vatican Secret Archive .." myth as I am sure you know that the proper translation of the actual latin text means "Private" and not "secret" and that it is actually possible for just about anyone to request and get permission to go there :)

I know that you know better, but no sense in propagating the falsehood.

I'm surprised that the original coverage was from that far back. I could have sworn it had been covered many times since then as indeed there was little or no new truthful information in this episode.

Oddly enough, when you think about all things considered, Parfitt's idea is the most plausible...however unlikely it is. Personally, I doubt the "Ark" ever existed in the first place, but if it did, it was mot likely a rather mundane artifact, embellished throughout the scriptures and through history. For many, legend has a much more profound impact than fact.

In light of the controversy surrounding some old books that came into the possession of a historical researcher as featured in the recent trailer for an upcoming film project “Search for the Holy Grail:”
This project is being written by myself and produced in part by me and John Edwards. Our goal is to break the mold of the sensational way material like this is presented and to analyze any and every road this information leads to be it authentic or some type of older historical scam.
Researcher John Edwards obtained some books and images that have interesting notations in the margins of the books. One of the books was once owned by Mary of St. Peter a French nun who became associated with a relic of the Arma Christi known of as the Face Cloth of Christ. Some of the books also include a stamp from the Nazi Einsatztab Rosenburg organization that looted libraries of churches and Masonic lodges, art museums, and private art collections during WWII. This is interesting in league with the very real history of the Nazi fascination with Biblical relics and other items of cultural importance. This is well documented and not a farcical theory…..even though it has also been part of the plot of popular movies like the Indiana Jones for example.
So in many critics minds they are asking themselves “Are these books fake?” At this point I would objectively appreciate that point of view and I had the same reaction when I was able to look at the books myself. I asked myself is this another attempt at fake documents as we see others presenting as evidence for theories that have no sources in the canon of common history? In the end these books have nothing in common with certain “researchers” who use highly suspect so called medieval documents to form their entire theory stating Knights Templar were involved in the Americas prior to the time of Columbus. In fact it is easy to speculate that a person such as the individual who once owned these books could have also created a false history or document using the knowledge they had gained in their real search for items of biblical and historical importance.
The reason I think these books are authentic is because nothing in these books at this point leads to any biblical relics or associated items. It appears these books had notations from someone who may have been a French Freemason who was fascinated by the relics of the Arma Christi and other relics as well. So nothing in these books is saying “Look here for the Holy Grail” beyond a series of notations that include crude maps and drawings of specific places in the Holy Land as well as a few select Cathedrals in Europe that are already known for their relics. None of the information in these notations include anything that is outside the common thread of history either.
Almost all the places noted in these books are already noted in common history as having some relation to biblical relics such as the story of the Ark of the Covenant told at Chartres Cathedral. Yes many of those stories in turn are unfounded with little or no hard evidence to suggest they are true. On the other hand many of these places are associated with sites like the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Israel which does include an array of relics associated.
In other cases of old documents or similar books it appears that their intent was to lead one to the Ark of the Covenant for instance. In reality most of these stories feature artifacts that are valued by Freemasons even today as part of their ceremony and rites. Reproductions of the Ark of the Covenant are present in many Masonic lodges for example. Some degrees reference the story of Enoch and his nine layers of arches w/ the Golden Delta at the bottom. The entire story of King Solomon and his building of the First Temple in Jerusalem is also valued in this manner by Freemasons. So it is no surprise that the notations in the book also include Masonic symbols as well as one Maltese cross as associated with the Knights of Malta. In their later history the Knights of Malta were directly associated with French Freemasonry.
The dates of publishing of these books span the time from the latter eighteenth century to the middle of the nineteenth century. Given this it is impossible for anyone to claim the information within refers to more ancient and later fake notions of history. I think what we have is some books that were originally valued due to who owned them as in the case of one book that has the signature of Mary of St. Peter in it. Then a relic or treasure hunter obtained the books and included these strange notations at some point between the mid nineteenth century and the end of the nineteenth century.
The notations are in pen and ink, not a ball pointed pen or other more modern writing implement. After our relic hunter or history fan owned the books somehow the Nazis obtained the books possibly by looting a Masonic lodge in Paris for example. If s

Its a movie trailer. The movie will include all the images from the books. There is crudely drawn map of Oak island. So far that is all we know. Nothing else in the books seems to reference Oak Island at all. I just think the person who made the notes was basing their interest on already existing folklore stories about Oak island that were present in the latter nineteenth century. Beyond that as i said there is no history changing info in the books at all. Usually when someone makes a movie trailer they do not reveal the entire plot of said movie or documentary do they? So get your debunking hats on when the movie comes out. lol. You guys.

The Sudanese Memoirs state the Book of Afrad says the Ark of the Covenant contained a ruby statue of a a cat's head with two wings that mewed like a roaring wind & spurred the Ark to rush at God's enemies & rout them.
An early Templar Baphomet?
